Welcome to the Leadership Community Podcast.   In today's episode, we have a conversation with our first returning guest. Paul Benger is the Lead Pastor of Ikon Church, a multi-site Church and the leader of Groundlevel Network, a movement of 80+ churches.    Our conversation was focused on building leader and gleaning from his decades of experience with this important aspect of being a leader We talked about... • Why building leaders is essential  • The opportunities building leaders can create • The risks of not developing leaders • The barriers that stop churches from building leaders • How to release others to lead • Leadership vs Discipleship   We also gave Paul a chance to talk about his new book called 'Empowered' which is about discovering and developing your spiritual gifts'.   We hope you find this conversation helpful and that the takeaways will contribute positively to your leadership journey.   Thank you for being a part of our community.
